MEN’S SPEEDWAY: Ipswich Witches riders Dan Thompson and Adam Ellis both top scored with 11+1 points and captain Dan Bewley notched 8+1 as Britain thumped the USA 55-35 in a one-off test match at California’s Bakersfield track.

The event was the first-ever meeting between the countries in the US.

Britain are the current Speedway of Nations world champions and will defend their title in Poland later this year.
